“The OSR8040 is a Linux switch router in an
18-slot chassis with a 40 Gigabit per second routing
fabric, frame and cell scheduling, and high speed ASICs,
supporting up to 26 million packets per second of throughput.”
“This is the first high performance Linux Router using the
strength, flexibility and scalability of an “Open” architecture,
giving the customer basic block functions and programmable
interfaces.” … “These new features can be deployed without
additional hardware upgrades, saving customers time and resources.
“
“To further complement enhanced routing, the OSR8040 includes
integrated application services with the multi-service functions of
the Linux OS. These include programmable Packet Flow Processors for
‘smart’ networking applications, the CODA distributed file system,
improved directory services, enhanced symmetric multiprocessing
performance, load balancing and fault tolerance.”
